Today we are asking people in our church to fast and pray from sun up to 3:00 p.m. Fast = water only. Pray= take your breakfast, lunch, break time, etc. to seek God. Join us so we can unleash the power of God in our church and our community.
Scripture says, "I desire therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting" (1 Tim. 2:8).
This scripture gives us three areas in our life to consider while we pray...
1. "Lifting up holy hands"- if there is anything in your life that you need to repent of, stop and take a moment to ask the Lord to forgive you. While we pray, His desire is for us to "lift up HOLY hands." We truly are called to holiness in our lives.
2. "Without wrath"- This really speaks to the unity of One Prayer. Jesus said “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift" (Matthew 5:23,24). Being in unity with your brothers and sisters is a big deal to God!
3. "Without doubting"- When we pray through this month of June, let's ask God to do some amazing things. Let's believe! Let's have the faith that God is going to do it! Hebrews tells us, "without faith it is impossible to please God."
May all of us come together to pray. Amen.
